La Piedrita

La Piedrita is a Marxist-Leninist and Bolivarian colectivo paramilitary group in Venezuela which was founded in September 1985. It was founded to combat violence in the 23 de Enero neighborhood of Caracas, and, after the rise to power of Hugo Chavez, La Piedrita fought to defend the Venezuelan government and the Bolivarian Revolution. La Piedrita was responsible for attacking civilians and the media, serving as a tool of repression for the Bolivarian government.
